1 SECTION 10.1 KEY CONCEPT EARLY IDEAS ABOUT EVOLUTION Study Guide There were theories of biological and geologic change before Darwin. VOCABULARY evolution fossil gradualism species catastrophism uniformitarianism MAIN IDEA: Early scientists proposed ideas about evolution. In a phrase, tell what each scientist did to help develop evolutionary theory. Scientist 1. Linnaeus Contribution to Evolutionary Theory 2. Buffon 3. E. Darwin 4. Lamarck 5. What two conditions must be true for a group of animals to be considered the same species? 6. Lamarck s ideas of evolution are known as the inheritance of acquired characteristics. What was incorrect about his theory of how organisms evolve? 7. In the 1700s, many people believed that species were fixed and did not change. How did plant hybridization a type of crossing that could be observed in experiments help change this view? Unit 4 Resource Book Study Guide 1

2 STUDY GUIDE, CONTINUED MAIN IDEA: Theories of geologic change set the stage for Darwin s theory. 8. Writeadescriptionofeachtheoryinthe space provided. Geologic Theory Description catastrophism gradualism uniformitarianism Vocabulary Check 9. What word refers to traces of an organism that existed in the past? 10. What is the process of biological change by which descendants come to differ from their ancestors? 11. Events such as volcanoes, floods, and earthquakes are the basis of what geologic theory? 12. What geologic theory can be summarized by the phrase the present is the key to the past? Who s Who Linnaeus Lamarck Buffon E. Darwin 13. Charles Darwin s poetic grandfather 14. Thought that a giraffe s long neck evolved from reaching high in trees 15. Grouped living organisms into categories based on what they looked like 16. Wrote Historie Naturelle (Natural History) in Study Guide Unit 4 Resource Book

3 SECTION 10.2 KEY CONCEPT DARWIN S OBSERVATIONS Study Guide Darwin s voyage provided insights into evolution. MAIN IDEA: VOCABULARY variation Darwin observed differences among island species. 1. What is variation among members of different species called? adaptation 2. What is variation among members of the same species called? 3. What island chain in South America was the source of many of Darwin s insights? 4. Darwin saw populations of various species that seemed well-suited to their environment. What did this suggest? MAIN IDEA: Darwin observed fossil and geologic evidence supporting an ancient Earth. 5. Darwin observed fossils of huge animals such as Glyptodon, a giant armadillo. Why were these fossils of interest to him? 6. Many people in the 1700s thought that Earth was only about 6000 years old. How did the fossil organisms Darwin saw lead him to think Earth must be much older than that? 7. Darwin also observed fossil shells of marine organisms high up in the Andes mountains, and saw an earthquake move land that was underwater move above sea level. How did he apply these insights to the evolution of organisms? 8. Look at Figure 10.4 in your textbook. What differences between the two Galápagos tortoises can you identify from the two pictures? Unit 4 Resource Book Study Guide 5

4 STUDY GUIDE, CONTINUED Vocabulary Check variation adaptation 9. the difference in the physical traits of an individual from those of other individuals in the group to which it belongs 10. a feature that allows an organism to better survive in its environment 11. A tortoise population lives in an area with high grass. These tortoises have longer necks than tortoises that live in other areas. Thelongnecksareanexampleofthis. 12. One bird in a population has a slightly thicker beak than its relatives. This thicker beak is an example of what in the population. Be Creative In the space below, draw a sketch of a bird that may eat the food choice that is given in the left column. Food choice Sketch Eats large, hard-shelled nuts Eats fruit and insects 6 Study Guide Unit 4 Resource Book

5 SECTION 10.3 KEY CONCEPT THEORY OF NATURAL SELECTION Study Guide Darwin proposed natural selection as a mechanism for evolution. MAIN IDEA: VOCABULARY artificial selection natural selection fitness heritability population Several key insights led to Darwin s idea for natural selection. 1. Why did artificial selection interest Darwin? 2. Why must selected traits be heritable? 3. In natural selection, what must be true of traits that are passed down through generations? 4. What important idea from Thomas Malthus inspired Darwin? MAIN IDEA: Natural selection explains how evolution can occur. variation overproduction adaptation descent with modification 5. producing many offspring, some of which may not survive 6. individual differences that may be heritable 7. a structure well-suited for the environment 8. a heritable trait becoming common in a population Unit 4 Resource Book Study Guide 9

6 STUDY GUIDE, CONTINUED Use an organism of your choice to sketch the four principles of natural selection. 9. overproduction 10. variation 11. adaptation 12. descent with modification MAIN IDEA: Natural selection works on existing variation. 13. Peter and Rosemary Grant observed natural selection acting on traits within a population of finches on the Galápagos Islands. A drought reduced the number of small soft seeds but left plenty of large, tough-shelled seeds intact. The next year there was a(n) (increase, decrease) in the number of large-beaked hatchlings. 14. After several years, the supply of large seeds went down after an unusually wet period. The increase in small, soft seeds brought a(n) (increase, decrease) in the number of large-beaked hatchlings the following year. Vocabulary Check 15. Humans are the selective agent in which type of process, artificial selection or natural selection? 16. The environment is the selective agent in which type of process, artificial selection or natural selection? 17. What is the measure of the ability to survive and produce more offspring relative to other members of the population called? 18. What is the ability of a trait to be passed down from one generation to the next called? 19. What are all the individuals of a species that live in an area called? 10 Study Guide Unit 4 Resource Book

7 SECTION 10.4 KEY CONCEPT EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION Study Guide Evidence of common ancestry among species comes from many sources. VOCABULARY biogeography homologous structure MAIN IDEA: Evidence for evolution in Darwin s time came from several sources. In the diagram below, give examples of each type of evidence for evolution. analogous structure vestigial structure 1. Fossils: 2. Geography: Evidence for evolution in Darwin s time came from several sources. 3. Embryology: 4. Anatomy: MAIN IDEA: Structural patterns are clues to the history of a species. 5. Vestigial structures seem to lack any useful function, or are at least no longer used for their original purpose. Give three examples of vestigial structures. 6. Many modern whale species have vestigial pelvic and leg bones. What does this suggest about the ancestry of modern whales? Unit 4 Resource Book Study Guide 13

8 STUDY GUIDE, CONTINUED Vocabulary Check homologous structure analogous structure vestigial structure 7. Feature that is similar in structure in different organisms but has different functions 8. Feature that performs a similar function in different organisms but is not similar in origin 9. Is not evidence of a common ancestor 10. Remnant of an organ or structure that had a function in an early ancestor 11. Examples include the wing of a bat and the hand of a human 12. Examples include the wing of a bird and the wing of an insect 13. Examples include the wing of an ostrich and the appendix of a human Sketch it Out Use Figure to sketch a skeleton of a human hand next to the whale fin skeleton shown below. Draw lines to match the groups of bones that are homologous for these two structures. A B C D 14 Study Guide Unit 4 Resource Book

9 SECTION 10.5 KEY CONCEPT EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY TODAY Study Guide New technology is furthering our understanding of evolution. MAIN IDEA: Fossils provide a record of evolution. 1. What are two reasons that the fossil record is not complete? VOCABULARY paleontology 2. What is one example of a transitional fossil that has been found? 3. Why are transitional fossils important? MAIN IDEA: Molecular and genetic evidence support fossil and anatomical evidence. In a phrase, explain how each of the following contribute to evolutionary theory. Molecular Evidence 4. DNA sequence analysis Contribution to Evolutionary Theory 5. Pseudogenes 6. Homeobox genes 7. Protein comparisons Unit 4 Resource Book Study Guide 17

10 STUDY GUIDE, CONTINUED MAIN IDEA: Evolution unites all fields of biology. 8. What two things combine to make up our modern evolutionary theory? 9. How has molecular evidence helped support fossil evidence in determining the early ancestor of modern-day whales? 10. What is meant by the phrase Evolution unites all fields of biology? Vocabulary Check 11. How does paleontology contribute to evolutionary biology? Sketch it Out Look at the fossil evidence of whale evolution shown in Figure Sketch one part of the skeletons (such as the skull, forelimbs, hindlimbs, or ribcages) of each of the whale ancestors. Briefly describe their differences and propose how these differences are well-suited for the habitat in which the animals lived. 18 Study Guide Unit 4 Resource Book
